[Niagara 4.25] Ribbon Trail Mini Tutorial

Would there be a way to use this to make a sword trail?

I tried to do this with just one sprite, but when I move it it doesn’t follow the sprite’s movement, only if the particle moves by add velocity

There is, but it requires a bit more setup.

I’m hoping to make a small tutorial on this a some point too, but the gist is to select two bones, and set the ribbon position, custom facing and width to align with those bones.

I just created a ribbon tutorial for making the UVs “static” along the ribbons. Maybe it helps:
